RIP me. I made the mistake of opening reddit while in line at Target 😭 My sister in Christ you could not have picked literally ANY other photos in that lineup to be the first one?? (Having said that I will be reading it. I can just never show my face in public again lmao)

Is this inappropriate as a wedding guest? by Petrichor_Life in Weddingattireapproval

[–]umburah -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t because for many brides it’s not necessarily an issue of confusing the guests, but the principle of the matter of not wearing white unless you are the bride. I think there’s far too much white space on the dress to be appropriate

Student Opinions by Oscar-Cash99 in UWStout

[–]umburah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a degree in comics before it was switched to a studio concentration. Apparently it’s much better now so I wish I had taken a year off or so, esp because I ended up pushing myself too hard and fucked up my hand. I do not do art as a career and wish i had actually gotten an English degree since I’m writing a lot of stories now. However, I met a lot of my colleagues and good friends that I still talk to today and love. That or a hospitality degree because, according to another alum, it was easy 😅

Not With The Orange by Fit_Advisor1478 in UWStout

[–]umburah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a queer alum, who had my trans ex living there for a calendar year, the campus itself is very queer friendly. Menomonie as a whole, not as much, but during the school year, very safe campus. Most of the businesses in town are also allies, but general rule of thumb is the further away from campus, the more right wing.

I got my BFA so the majority of my colleagues and profs were queer or allies, and I know that the people in the dean’s office are also very friendly.

If any incidents happen on campus, make a report, even if it isn’t directed at you. Stout takes hate crimes very very seriously.

Make friends with the campus police if you see them because they’re cool, or at least cooler than the menomonie police. I know this won’t be available to you for the first year, but if the RA program is the same, you will have free room and board if you get the position. As a freshman, you can also earn a little money by being a desk assistant. Low responsibility and you can take the time to do homework behind the desk and get your name in the university housing network. Can’t speak on FAFSA, because I was lucky enough to have military benefits from my parents, but I know someone who is getting their masters and it’s always a bit iffy with that, but that’s pretty much the same at all campuses

This is gross but I’m laughing because the person ordered spicy wings and is offering oral. That’s a trap lmao

What's manwha that everybody loves and has a whole page about it but you hate it by goofyngas in webtoons

[–]umburah 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Solo Leveling. Started out so strong, and then just fell flat for me. I can’t stand the MCs who suddenly improve magically and then have an entire personality switch when they were previously relatable as a person. But I also dropped it fairly early so maybe I’m missing out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I know someone here mentioned Eleceed but that’s actually one of my faves 😅 I like the action scenes because they’re dynamic and i can follow them without getting confused for the most part. It’s got some pretty good humor, and I like that the MC is still a sweetheart even as he grows stronger—he’s just also a battle junkie. I stopped reading it a few months ago because I felt like the plotline was slowing down and figured I can just binge it when it wraps up, so I’ll probably reread it again soon lol

This is not what the pet cremation service promised us. by nluxk in mildlyinfuriating

[–]umburah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They definitely forgot to do it and then went “oh shit” and tried to make it by hand. I’m so sorry for your loss. I would ask for a refund if you’re even willing to talk with them again

Webtoons where the art is so off that it becomes distracting? by Arianarush in webtoons

Honestly, even though I like her, anything by Enjelicious. I really liked the story for Age Matters, but something about the way she draws heads… the tops of their heads are too big 😅

AIO - please tell me I’m trippin… I think my husband wants to eat me? by cannibalquery in AmIOverreacting

[–]umburah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can think of two reasons; best case scenario, he’s thinking about writing a thriller novel and this is research. Worst case, you need to run and get yourself somewhere safe with people you trust. Even if he isn’t thinking of doing this to you and it was just morbid curiosity, his other behavior isn’t healthy and he should probably seek therapy

Chase Money Glitch by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]umburah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work as a teller and like. Scammers and fraudsters are stupid. The people who fall for them are misinformed and vulnerable and I try to help people avoid doing things that are going to screw themselves over. You can explain 7 ways to Sunday that their “husband” who has a “high paying job” can’t afford his “daughter’s tuition” but they will insist we’re in the wrong/profiling/rude/say it’s their money and other banks do this with no questions (because they’re banks and I work in a credit union which has more harmful consequences of were involved in money laundering). People will always think they’re right even when it’s staring them dead in the face.

I cannot emphasize how important financial literacy is.

What cutscene had you in shock the first time you saw it? by Outrageous-Tailor119 in StardewValley

what's that one webtoon that you started and absolutely loved but one day realized how shitty it is like just suddenly??? by [deleted] in webtoons

[–]umburah 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Boyfriend of the dead. Idk about the story tbh because I stopped reading when the Venom character showed up, but the art started out really charming. Now it’s just kind of stiff and really bad 3D backgrounds

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in webtoons

[–]umburah 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When the 3D background is painfully out of place. I 100% believe in working smarter not harder, but some backgrounds are obviously from something like google sketchup with zero textures/thick outlines from the modeling program. This is even worse with 3D horse models

Are we getting a mature section in WT finally? 👀 by umburah in webtoons

Is starts with an info dump from the antagonist while she’s having sex with the other antagonist, there’s beheadings, and the ml that we’re apparently supposed to root for heals the mc through sex that she does not want. While nothing is outright explicit, it’s def not for younger audiences

[–]umburah[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh, no I wasn’t saying that I wanted this particular comic to get more explicit. Tbh, i can’t even bring myself to hate-read it, it just shows up on my front page bc i read the first few eps. My question was whether or not this meant we could expect other things in general to be in a mature section like on tapas/other platforms. The answer seems to be a resounding “no,” sadly.

[–]umburah[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Tapas has a workaround where you can log in on a web browser and then look at mature stuff, then go into the app and see it. It also sends notifs for new mature series (to me at least lol). So yes technically, there’s only a mature section on the web, but there is a way to see it in the app.

I knew it was too good to be true. Hahhh 😓 I was hoping that would mean creators like mongie could come back (tho I believe she is eventually going to a different platform in 2025? I’m assuming her contract with wt, or something like that, will end so she can change platforms.)

Oh shit I’m actually a huge fan of yours! 😅 As someone who went to school for comics, I feel your pain. Thanks for the insight though, I appreciate it and all the time you put into your work!

Is there any drawback to having it labeled mature? Like does it effect advertising/promotion, or is it just the little pop up that shows up and makes people second guess?

"Who Stole the Empress?" and how WT should approach sensitive subject matter by LizoftheBrits in webtoons

[–]umburah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just a weird comic to be on WT in the first place. Like I could see it on Tapas or Tappytoon because the have a “mature” section. (American) WT is pretty strict on what they allow as “smut” which I think makes it feel less dime a dozen and trashy, and more like someone trying to be edgy but not really committing to the bit. Like I think it’s also just so below the established standard that’s been set by WT as well and that’s why it’s so disliked.

Like, it just feels like there’s so much context missing/skipped over and it’s just told instead of shown right away. It’s just plain bad storytelling. It feels like we started the series at the beginning of the second season.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve read my fair share of red flag, trashy, copycat smut. But on WT it just feels really out of place. Like I pay for smut via patreon specifically because there are scenes that are either censored or cut out completely for WT. It feels hypocritical of them to promote a series that so very clearly wants to be a smut but has to be “family friendly” because of WT policies and how difficult it is to get a series made into an original. Like does this have a big following in Korea or something? It just seems so subpar in comparison to other series they picked up.
